YHA South Australia is proud to present the annual YHA Peace Festival in Light Square, Adelaide on Sunday 17th September 2006. The festival is commemorating the United Nations International Day of Peace (the following Thursday 21st September) and raising awareness of "Peace One Day".

This unique internationally supported event is now in its fourth year with attendances projected to reach over 6000 people. Set in the heart of the CBD in Adelaide’s west end precinct, the city will be brought to life with a showcase of live music, dance, comedy, visual art, children’s activities, workshops, and roving performance as well as a spread of stall holders offering a great range of international and local delicacies and wares. Festivities commence at 11am until 9pm, and as always- entrance is FREE!

The Youth Hostels Association (YHA) is a not-for-profit international budget accommodation and travel organisation provided mainly to promote peace, understanding and tolerance between all people through travel, cultural exchange and experience. Through the inspiration of the movie “Peace One Day”, YHA has taken our mission to another level and with the help of Adelaide City Council, Arts SA and sponsors, has created a uniquely international supported event, based right here in Adelaide.

The program for the event this year is looking better than ever with many of Australia’s leading musicians expressing a keen interest in being associated with the ideals and positive celebration of peace. This year we have the pleasure of announcing the following performing artists to our line-up;
